Recipe #24: 3oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin 12 drops Art Stuf Burgandy Resin Dye 0.25tsp Art Stuf Pearl White 15 drops of MEKP |
Comments The pearl white almost looks like silver floating on the red. Barely distinct translucent- you can kindof tell where the light bulbs are when you hold up the 1/8" sample to the light. |
Recipe #25: 3oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin 18 drops Art Stuf Purple Resin Dye 15 drops of MEKP Gelled in 35min. |

Recipe #26: 3oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin 18 drops Art Stuf Purple Resin Dye 0.25tsp Art Stuf Pearl White 15 drops of MEKP Gelled in 35min. |

Comments Trying for a candy apple red, but the gold added enough yellow to push this to an orange. With the small amount of pigment, a 1/8" piece is transparent enough to really see (not just tell where they are) the bubs when held up to the light. |

Recipe #31: 4oz Mr. Fiberglass Clear Casting Resin 16 drops Art Stuf Ruby Red Resin Dye 18 drops of MEKP |
